XGI Technology announced at Computex its entry-level PCI Express GPU. The Volari 8300 is a 0.13-micron part supporting DirectX 9.0, Shader Model 2 and TV encoding. It uses a technology called eXtreme Cache, which dynamically allocates system memory to the GPU, like Nvidia’s TurboCache and ATI’s HyperMemory. The Volari 8300 is also compatible with MXM type 1 mobile architecture. Mass production is set to begin in the second half.
